Wraxall Manor

Wraxall Manor is a stone-built house in the Dorset countryside with a classical front portico and wrought iron gates framing its entrance. The structure features solid masonry walls and symmetrical details that make it a notable example of its architectural period.

The manor was built around 1630 for William Lawrence during the Stuart period, reflecting the architectural trends of that time. The Long family maintained its connection to the property across generations, shaping its trajectory through centuries.

The Long family maintained ownership of the manor for generations, with Robert Long establishing the family's connection to South Wraxall through land acquisition.

The property holds Grade II* listed status, meaning any major alterations need special permission to protect its historical features. Visitors should note that this is a private residence and access may be limited.

John Taylor and Gela Nash-Taylor purchased the manor in 2005, marking a transition from its historical connection to the Long family ownership.
